Yikes. Thought the 'Le Pen on roids' comment quoted was hyperbole, but now I don't.

Hard to argue against the FGM stuff of course but the rest of it seems nasty, or at least agenda driven posing as concern.

Think UKIP are absolutely done now, spose they may as well go full BNP at this point.

Integration as a motif is always racism izzit. It's obviously of no concern to most normal people.

I jolly well demand the right to visit other countries and not integrate except on my terms and I extend the same courtesy to people who come here.

Forgot to mention dan, yr post was funny. We need like buttons more than ever

look at the final line

amazing really

Vote Tory for a fairer society: Survation for Mail on Sunday

Not really amazing.

Voting for Brexit proved people were stupid. This just confirms it.

Even members of the Conservative Party would admit that "promoting a fairer society" was not on their list of policies or ambitions.

Hence people who think that in power, the Tories would provide a fairer society are incapable of critical thinking.

[The Camel]

I mean it is a stupid poll aimed at Daily Mail readers in the first place

The questions are ridiculously ambiguous.

Which leader would "Negotiate best Brexit deal"?

Depends on what your aims are.

If you want to crush workers rights, give big businesses license  to fuck up the enviroment and restart the troubles in Ireland, I'm sure Theresa May would do the better job.

To be fair this poll has meant Keith has to recalibrate his friend network to incorporate these Tory fair thinkers so it is a time of some upheaval!

[Ironside]

latest polls in scotland are showing the what in many minds up here would class as "unthinkable"
tories are now ahead of labour in the polls

snp support is down for 50% at last election to 44%

plenty will change during the campaigning

and this

a labour MP tweets, quite smugly

David Lammy ‏Verified account @DavidLammy

Blimey. No Nigel, no Arron, no Douglas and seemingly no Paul who is in hiding. Is anyone going to run for UKIP in this election or what?!

to get the reply from Carswell

Douglas Carswell‏ Verified account @DouglasCarswell 15h15 hours ago

No. It's over. Most of the 3.8 million who voted Ukip last time are switching to Theresa May instead
